INTRODUCTION

Defend Mankind from the Satanic

Climate-Change Swindle
by Helga Zepp-LaRouche
Exactly 70 years after the end of the Nazi dictatorship,
preparations are underway largely unnoticed or misinterpreted by unsuspecting contemporariesfor the
establishment of a fascist world government which
would exceed Hitlers most audacious dreams. In place
of the discredited doctrine of eugenics, which provided
the pretense then for the elimination of so-called inferior races, today it is the swindle of alleged anthropogenic climate change which supplies the argumentation
to establish a global eco-dictatorship whose results, and
whose declared intention is to eliminate six billion
human beingsif it is not stopped.
On November 30-December 11 of this year, the
COP21/CMP11 Climate Summit will take place in
Paris, also called Paris 2015. There a binding international convention is supposed to be concluded, obligating every nation in the world to agree to so-called climate goals in order to hold global warming to less than
two degrees Celsius. This largest diplomatic conference ever to have taken place in Paris, a mammoth
spectacle with about 40,000 participants, is supposed to
represent the crowning conclusion to an unprecedented
series of dozens of international conferences all during
this year on the subject of anthropogenic climate
change, aiming to get the agreement of political leaders, industry representatives, union leaders, religious
representatives, and social groups of all kinds to this
oncoming social contract.
Although this theory, spread with an unprecedented
expenditure of propaganda, has by now been swallowed by many credulous people, it is in no way established science, but rather very old wine in new wineskins; namely, the attempt to establish a world
government through which to eliminate national sovereignty and thereby the possibility of individuals to participate in government through a representative system.
In its place is intended to be a kind of modern feudal

oligarchy, in which the club of billionaires and millionaires live in gross luxury while the mass of the population is to be left in backwardness with sharply reduced
living standards, lower life expectancies, and reduced
cognitive capabilities.
The means to this end is the scare campaign around
man-made climate change, which is supposed to induce
people voluntarily to do without virtually all the achievements of material and social progress through industrialization. The goal of such an eco-dictatorship is the great
transformation of the world economy to the exclusive
use of so-called renewable energy sources, and thus the
decarbonization of the economy, in which both nuclear
energy and fossil fuels disappear as rapidly as possible.
The proof offered for anthropogenic climate change
consists of pre-fixed computer models, in which the desired result is determined in advance, and segments of
historical climate data are selected in such a manner
that they appear to demonstrate the effect of so-called
greenhouse gases caused by mankinds industrial production and agriculture. But numerous scientists have
demonstrated that this game of selecting climate data is
entirely willful and staged for this purpose, and that
computer-based scenarios are being consciously given
out as scientific prognoses. There are many studies
which show this fakery, and make clear that the manmade portion of the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is negligibly low, namely 0.018%; but more importantly, that the connection between CO2 emissions
and climate change is unproven, and thus that the entire
argument is based on a spectacular swindle (see Section
II of this Special Report).

millions of years, the changes from warming periods,

An academic directly deployed by the British Crown since

2004, Hans Joachim Schellnhuber has become the German
Merkel governments, and now Pope Francis climate guru. He
asserts that scientific consensus puts Earths population
potential at below 1 billion people.

periods after these ice ages, etc. result from cosmic radiation in connection with our Suns cycles of activity,
for which the number of sunspots forms a measure of
the Suns energy production; changes in the characteristics of the Earths orbit; and the changing position of
the Solar System in our galaxy, to name only some of
the changing parameters.
What is very well proven, by contrast to anthropogenic climate change, is the connection between the energy-flux density applied in the production process and
the number of human beings which can be supported by
that production process level (see Section III of this Special Report]. By the intended decarbonization of the
world economy combined with simultaneous demonization of nuclear energy, thus reducing society to renewable energy sources, the potential population which can
be maintained at these lower energy flux densities is also
reduced, and goes roughly to that of the pre-industrial
eraa maximum of one billion people.
And just such population reduction is the expressed
intention of, for example, Prince Philip, whose unspeakable statement of his wish to be reborn as a deadly
virus in order best to support this intention, is notorious.
This is also the cynical meaning of Hans Joachim
Schellnhuber, head of the Potsdam Institute for Climate
Research (PIK) and lately climate advisor to Pope Francis, whoin the course of the fortunately failed Copenhagen Climate Conference of 2009celebrated as a
August 2015

triumph of science and proof of climate change, that

planetary equilibrium required a human population of
less than one billion.
Behind this lurks the old oligarchic view that the
ruling elite is allowed periodically to reduce the population of slaves, helots, or the lower classes which have
become too numerous, the way a herd of cattle can be
culled as necessary. The idea of mankind connected
with this perverse view was exactly described, for example, by Joseph de Maistre in his Letter to a Russian
Nobleman on the Spanish Inquisition. It is the arrogant
proposition that only ones own upper class is possessed of essentially God-given privileges, while the
mass of people can be terrorized into anxiety and fear,
and thus kept under control. The entire history of imperial and colonial periods is a single history of this bestial practice, in which an upper class is viewed as a
master race, whose alleged superiority must be defended in every possible way.
A more recent variant of this oligarchical tradition
appeared in the form of eugenics, the theory so named
by British anthropologist Francis Galton in 1883, according to which it is desirable to strive for the intended
purity of this master race by the same kinds of criteria
used in the breeding of horses or dogs. At the start of the
20th Century eugenics societies were organized in various European nations and in the United States, which
fostered the greatest admiration for the race theory of
Adolf Hitler and the National Socialists, and an entire
array of whose prominent members and adherents, such
as Prescott Bush or Averell Harriman, gave active financial support to the seizure of power by Hitler.

Eugenics Renamed Ecology

After the successful application of eugenics in the

holocaust operations of Tiergarten 4 and the concentration camps, this bestial method, naturally, was denounced. Julian Huxley, an open sympathizer of eugenics, wrote in 1946 in the official UN Document
UNESCO, Its Purpose and Its Philosophy: Thus
even though it is quite true that any radical eugenic
policy will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO
to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the
greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of
the issues at stake, so that much that now is unthinkable
may at least become thinkable. Huxley launched a
campaign to replace the discredited term eugenics with
the terms environmental protection, and/or ecology.

EIR  

Huxley, president of the British Eugenics Society

from 1959-62, worked from 1961 onward, together
with Prince Philip, on the development of the World
Wildlife Fund, WWF, an organization responsible for
preventing innumerable infrastructure and development projects around the world, and responsible for a
very large share of the misery suffered in countries of
the so-called Third World. Prince Philip succeeded,
through such fanatical propagandists, in getting the
idea of population reduction raised to international political priority; and he pursued above all, the goal of
making environmental protection acceptable to the
great monotheistic religions, in whose optimistic view
of mankind he saw the greatest barrier to his perfidious
policies. The Biblical representation of man as the
crown of Creation, as Christianity explicitly defined
this, had to be replaced by any means, by the conception of human beings as mere caretakers of Nature, not
occupying a pre-eminent position but on the contrary,
representing a cancer threatening Nature.
As one of many propagators of this brown-green
idea, Hans Joachim Schellnhuber distinguished himself, becoming titled as none other than a CBE, Commander of the Order of the British Empire, and founder
and director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Research. Moreover he is, among other things, currently
co-chairman of the German governments Scientific
Advisory Board on Global Environmental Change
(WBGU, Wissenschaftlichen Beirat der Bundesregierung globale Unweltvernderungen), and most recently
member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. Obscure despite his many titles, Schellnhuber suddenly
gained a lamentable fame in the course of the failed Copenhagen Climate Summit in 2009, with his thesis that
the carrying capacity of the Earth only allowed a human
population of less than one billion.

The Queen Deploys Schellnhuber

Already in 2004 he had been designated by Queen

Elizabeth II, together with Sir David King, climate advisor to the British Government and Monarchy, to be
sent on a mission to the United States to convince President George W. Bush on anthropogenic climate change.
This operation must have far exceeded the bounds
which Bush considered acceptable, because he later
complained to Tony Blair about it.
Also in 2004, Queen Elizabeth traveled to Berlin to
open the German-British Climate Conference, and
there granted Schellnhuber the CBE as thanks for his

services. The European Climate Foundation, an institution sponsored by hedge funds whose Board of Advisors Chairman was Schellnhuber, thereupon increased
its financing of climate activists in Germany from 2007
onwards, while he simultaneously advised the EU
Commission on the development of guidelines for CO2
emissions. As an energy advisor to German Chancellor
Angela Merkel, he was presumably responsible for the
German exit from nuclear power after the earthquaketsunami catastrophe of March 11, 2011 in Fukushima.
Interestingly, scarcely one month after the earthquake, on April 7, Schellnhubers German Government
Scientific Advisory Board on Global Environmental
Change (WBGU) published a study with the title: World
in ChangeSocial Contract for a Great Transformation. This was the blunt proposal for a global eco-fascism, a Green world dictatorship in the tradition of
Thomas Hobbes, H.G. Wells, and Carl Schmitt, which
projected the complete decarbonization of the worlds
energy industry. This means the final elimination of nuclear fission, which is advised against; nuclear fusion,
which is claimed to be eventually attainable but too complicated; and the complete abandonment of fossil fuels
such as coal, oil, and natural gas by the year 2050.
The study had been six years in preparation and interestingly was designated as a Master Plan for Social
Transformation by WBGU Chairman Schellnhuber,
although it really should be called a master plan for a
forced imperial consolidation or even master plan for
the collective suicide of the human race.
For Germany, then, this began its exit as a country in
the world community which could contribute something significant, from a scientific standpoint, for the
really existential problems of humanity. This began the
willful elimination of the potential for scientific discovery of necessary knowledge, because it began to direct
human and industrial resources, as well as financial
means, into completely delusory fields of technology
with lowered energy flux densities. Above all, the intellectual potential of students and researchers was thus
absorbed into areas which ultimately represent a dead
end in the development of mankind.
The studys methodological approach fully reflected
the statistical linear thinking of complex computer
models, as they are customarily used by systems analysts, and as we recognized it already, for example, in
the Club of Rome: The computer is programmed so that
the planned result is produced.

study for themselves (it can be found at the WGBUs

Internet site, www.wbgu.de), and not make the same
mistake that was made in Germany about a certain other
piece published in 1925namely, that it was not read
thoroughly or taken seriously.

The New Leviathan

What is proposed here expressis verbis is a great

transformation in which production, patterns of consumption, and life styles are all to be fundamentally
changed, as happened in both previous fundamental
transformations in world history. These two transformations were the transition from hunting and gathering
societies to the discovery and spread of agriculture and
animal husbandrythe so-called Neolithic revolutionand the industrial revolution, which describes
the transition from agrarian to industrial society. This
time, however, the transformation is directed backwards, to a climate-compatible and sustainable world
economic order. And this means energy flux densities
which, even if the authors naturally do not say so, correspond in reality to the population potential of pre-industrial society, thus roughly 1-2 billion people. It is
obvious: If the developing and so-called newly industrialized countries are subject to this eco-dictate, death
rates will rise without limit.
In order to be able to create the contractual basis
for this new sustainable world economic order, the authors bombastically demand a new world social contract, an idea which is expressly linked to models in
the natural law of early modern societies. They do not
August 2015

expressly mention whether this means a social contract

in the sense of Rousseau, which demands the total
alienation of each member of society with all his rights
into the whole community, or the great Leviathan of
Thomas Hobbes, in which the human being transfers
rights and powers to the overseer of the state, representing executive, legislative and judicial power in one
person who possesses a monopoly of power and cannot
be removed from office.
In any case, the new Leviathan, here called the
global governance architecture, and whose highest expression is supposed to be a UN council for sustainable
development at the level of the Security Council and reflecting the 21st-Century community of states, is to be
the world government representing absolute authority.

Pope Francis Capitulates

The fact that CBE Schellnhuber has gotten his program accepted in the Pontifical Academy of Sciences,
raises the most serious questions as to how this was
possible. For the most recent encyclical, Laudato Si
of Pope Francis, in which anthropogenic climate change
is presented as scientifically certain fact, represents a
complete break with the view of mankind in the Augustinian tradition of the Catholic Church, and with the encyclicals since Pope Leo XIII. Schellnhuber was one of
the three spokesmen who presented the new encyclical
on June 18 in Rome.
At a climate conference organized by the Vatican in
2007, the president of the World Federation of Scientists, Antonio Zichichi, rejected the use of computer
models as completely unsuitable for long-term climate
forecasts on the grounds of the complexity of the problem, and pointed in addition to the multiple influences
of the Solar System and the galaxy on the Earths climate, in opposition to which he characterized the manmade contribution to climate change as absolutely negligible. Several speakers contradicted then-Environment
Minister Ed Miliband of Britain, when he claimed that
the objectives of the British Government were the same
as those of Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI
rather those Popes were exactly opposed to birth- and
population control as proposed by the Brundtland Commission Report and the WWF. And even during the Copenhagen Climate Summit of 2009, the Vatican very
clearly attacked the Malthusian tendency of the affair.
With the incorporation of Schellnhubers ideas into
the encyclical and thus the rejection of a serious approach,
the Catholic Church has effectively involved itself in a

Francis, who otherwise has said
very important things about the
character of todays system of financial capitalnamely that it is
a system which violates the Fifth
Commandment, Thou shalt not
killwill include in his interpretation, our current knowledge of
the universe, which encompasses
not only our galaxy, whose influence on the climate of this planet is decisive,
but billions of galaxies. One could then be
confident that he would not support a pseudoclimate policy which thrusts the population
potential of the Earth back to one billion.
It took 346 years before Pope John Paul II (inset) formally stated the
Catholic Churchs error in the case of Galileo, and in 1992 also reflected the
modern cosmology of Einstein in his 1992 apology for that error. Now Pope
Francis has effectively involved the Church in a new Galileo case by
capitulating to the global warming/depopulation fraud.

new Galileo case. In that case the Church needed 346

years before Pope John Paul II in 1979, on the occasion of
the hundredth anniversary of Albert Einsteins birth, initiated the review of the case, in order then finally to admit
the Churchs error, after a 13-year trial, in 1992.
In his address to the participants of the full congregation of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Pope
John Paul II said, inter alia:
From the Galileo affair we can learn a lesson
which remains valid in relation to similar situations which occur today and which may occur in
the future.
In Galileos time, to depict the world as lacking an absolute physical reference point was, so
to speak, inconceivable. And since the Cosmos,
as it was then known, was contained within the
Solar System alone, this reference point could
only be situated in the earth or in the sun. Today,
after Einstein and within the perspective of contemporary cosmology neither of these two reference points has the importance they once had.
This observation, it goes without saying, is not
directed against the validity of Galileos position
in the debate; it is only meant to show that often,
beyond two partial and contrasting perceptions,
there exists a wider perception which includes
them and goes beyond both of them.

British Royal Nazis

The attempt of the participants in the

Paris 2015 Conference to establish binding
climate goals whose entire premise is based
on a gigantic fraud, which could only be carried out by a global dictatorshipand this in a world in
acute danger of destruction in a third, thermonuclear
world war, a world whose trans-Atlantic financial
system faces an implosion, and in which dozens of millions are already refugees from hunger, war and epidemicsmust be decisively defeated in any case. It
must go down in history as the last, miserable attempt
of the failing British Empire to propagate its inhuman
plans, as Prince Philip has proclaimed them ad nauseam, before this empire is finally ended.
The most recent revelations on the intensive connections of the House of Windsor to the Nazi regime are not
really a surprise for historians. The disclosure of a 17second family movie in which the 7- or 8-year old Elizabethlater Queen Elizabeth IIcan be seen as she presents the Hitler salute, is only the tip of the iceberg in this
regard. In recent weeks hundreds of articles have been
circulated, primarily in the British and American press
and on the Internet, which throw light on the open admiration of various members of the monarchy and the British nobility for Hitler and the Nazis. The sympathies of
Elizabeths uncle, the later King Edward VIII, who after
his abdication became Duke of Windsor, are known.
More explosive is the role of Prince Philip, who maintained close connections to high-ranking Nazis through
his three sisters, who were all married to leading members of the National Socialist Party and the SS.
The Times of Israel published a detailed interview

8 8

Decarbonization Is Green Genocide

Young Princess Elizabeth practiced the Nazi salute in the

1930s in a palace home movie which reopened the issue of
widespread British nobility support for Hitler and Mussolini at
that time. But Prince Philip, with more Nazi connections
than any other royal, became after World War II perhaps the
worlds most dogmatic environmentalist in demanding the
human population be reduced.

with the German-British historian Karina Urbach of the

University of London regarding the results of her research on this subject, which she has just published in a
book entitled, Go-Betweens for Hitler (Verbindungsleute zu Hitler). This involves the intensive alliance
between broad sections of the British establishment and
the Nazis, which played a central role in British geopolitics between the World Wars.
Prince Philips advisor for religious and climate questions, Martin Palmer, who, in his function as general secretary of the Alliance for Religions and Environmental
Protection, organized a so-called consciousness
summit in Paris on July 21 in preparation for the December conference, attacked the anthropocentric salvation doctrine on that occasion. He meant by this that
religions such as Christianity, Judaism and Islam had difficulty understanding that mankind is simply not so important. There must be debate between representatives of
these religions, he said, in order to expunge the idea that
the human species represents something unique.
August 2015

Here the inhuman ideology comes out, which is just

as characteristic of the Conservative Revolution directed against the ideas of 1789, as it is of the Nazis
and the Green movement: The human being is only a
higher animal, and therefore human life is not the slightest degree more inviolable than that of animals; one can
also reduce the number of human beings if necessary
whether they were the helots in ancient Sparta, or the
useless eaters of the Nazis, or now the six billion
people who must be sacrificed to climate goals. Armin
Mohler, the former head of the Siemens Foundation,
has already described in his book of the same name,
that the Conservative Revolution therefore wants to
turn back to the pre-Christian mythology of Gaia, because only the Christian view of mankind brought with
it the cultural optimism which made the modern development of the human species possible.
Christianity had this liberating effect for Europe, in
any case, and as Nicholas of Cusa formulated it, it was
exactly the vis creativa of the human being, arising from
the human characteristic as imago viva dei, the living
image of God, which was the basis of the unlimited
human perfectibility and of the human identity as the
crown of Creation, and not as a higher animal. The same
culturally optimistic view is also found in Confucianism
in China and was signified in the Vedic writings in India.
In the pro-science traditions of these cultures can also be
found the reason that both nations, at the Copenhagen
Climate Conference in 2009, stood clearly opposed to
the climate mafia of anthropogenic climate change, and
thus offered backing to the G77 in finally refusing to sign
a suicide pact, as their then-chairman Lumumba DiAping of Sudan put it at a press conference.
The recently industrialized and developing countries
certainly have all the environmental problems which
arise either from forced cheap-labor production or a total
lack of development; but this does not mean that they
therefore were not in a position to recognize the consequences of the master plan for decarbonization of the
world economy. It was essentially their populations who
belonged to the six billion for whom the carrying capacity of the Earth allegedly does not suffice.
In the improbable case that the Paris 2015 Climate
Summit should succeed in adopting binding CO2 emissions reductions, we can look forward to a world which
looks roughly as it would have, had Hitler won the war.
Therefore we must do everything possible to attain
a new paradigm in the history of mankind, in which science no longer sells its integrity for money.

British Crowns Depopulation Pope:

CBE Hans Joachim Schellnhuber
The climate expert who presented to the world the
Catholic Popes capitulation to the global warming
swindle, Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, Commander of
the Order of the British Empire (CBE), has been directly deployed by the British Crown since at least
2004 on missions to bring governments into line on
climate and environmental protection. He is also a
member of the Club of Rome, which burst upon the
world 45 years ago with a systems-analysis computer
model of the future of the human speciesLimits to
Growthwhich was proven to be, and later admitted
to be, a fraud based on a deliberate deletion of
human technological progress.
In the rush of fame which accompanied Schellnhubers Mephistophelian role in Pope Francis encyclical
Laudato Si, he has emphasized that he took a hard line
among other Papal advisors regarding the document: It
had not only to accept global warming, but attribute it
entirely to mankinds activities. On the other hand,
Schellnhuber has tried hard to deny that he brought the
demand for population reduction into the Vatican; but
he is on the record. At the 2009 Copenhagen Climate
Summit, for which he organized on behalf of Prince
Charles of Britain, Schellnhuber claimed in his public
presentation that the Earths carrying capacity would
allow a human population of only about 1 billion.
For a mathematical physicist unknown to the public
until very recently, Schellnhuber has a wide variety of
titles, including those above. He is a member of the
global-warming authority, the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). He was the German
governments Chief Advisor on Climate during Germanys 2007 EU Council Presidency; he is also an Advisory Board member at Deutsche Bank. He directs the
German governments Advisory Council on Global
Climate Change, which in turn is directing Germanys
suicidal exit from nuclear power. He is recently a
member of the Vatican Academy of Sciences.
20 Royal Depopulation Policy

After having founded the Potsdam Institute on Climate (PIK), Schellnhuber was brought to the United
Kingdom in 2002, to assume the post of Research Director at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research in Norwich, a branch of Oxford Universitys
Tyndall Center. He was also brought on to the Oxford
University Physics Department and the Environmental
Change Institute. He was at the authoritative East
Anglia Climatic Research Unit when it was found that
global warming researchers there were exaggerating
their data for purposes of influencing energy policy.
Schellnhuber organized a Nobel Prize holders Conference on Global Sustainability in 2011, and arrogantly commented then about the East Anglia scandal,

A Series of Royal Missions

Schellnhuber is one of a team of royal climate advisors deployed globally by the Crown, including
Prince Philips advisors Martin Palmer and Sir David
Attenborough. In early 2004, Queen Elizabeth II considered Professor Schellnhuber as the best man for a
sensitive operation to pressure President George W.
Bush into agreeing to the anthropogenic climate-change
swindle. Schellnhuber traveled to Washington, D.C.
along with Prime Minister Tony Blairs top science advisor, Sir David King, who is now the British Crowns
Special Representative for Climate Change, appointed
by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in September 2013. The Bush White House reportedly formally
complained to British Prime Minister Blair about this
mission.
Also in 2004, the Queen traveled to Berlin to open a
British-Germany conference on environmental protection and it was there that she dubbed Schellnhuber a

Empire.
In 2005, Blair turned to Schellnhuber to
organize a conference on Avoiding Dangerous Climate Change, at the G8 summit in
Gleneagles, Scotland.

If this were the case, a reform should start
with a review of the UN Charter, and aim for a
completely restructured United Nations organisation. Its purpose would be to take the planetary guard rails into account as a guiding principle that governs UN actions, and the pursuit of
which would guarantee protection of climate
and environment as much as peace, security and

Orders were issued to the BRICS nations and to
other nations in Asia, Africa and South America to give
up their nuclear programs:
Several countries are currently planning to increase their use of nuclear energy. The WBGU
urgently advises against this, above all because
of the not negligible risk of serious damages, the
still unresolved issues concerning final storage,
and the danger of uncontrolled proliferation. Existing plants should be replaced by sustainable
energy technologies as soon as possible, and, in
the case of evident safety deficiencies, be closed
down immediately. However, the phase out of
nuclear energy must not be compensated by renewed or intensified brown or black coal-based
energy generation.
And for his Nobel Prize holders conference on
global sustainability that year, Schellnhuber wrote in a
statement, Unsustainable production, consumption,
and population growth endanger the carrying capacity

subhead, Reducing the Pollution of Human Beings,

this Schellnhuber document continued, Consumption,
inefficient use of raw materials, and inappropriate technologies are the main reasons for the growing human
burden on the planet. Population growth must be addressed.

Seeing Promethean Fire as Pollution

On May 3 of this year, in an interview in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Schellnhuber broadened the
denunciation to fire in general, echoing the rejection
of Promethean fire in the encyclical Laudato Si which
he co-wrote for Pope Francis. In the age of fire, mankind has grown to a certain planetary power... he said.
And thus we are steering on in complete ignorance of
the firewalls of the planetary system. Is there an alternative course? There are many! But all require, not reform,
but rather the early defeat of the fossil-nuclear complex.
Schellnhuber then proposed the remaking of representative democracy: The propagation of international
environmental protection legislation through the UN;
and the reservation of 5-10% of the seats in national
parliaments for appointed ombudsmen for the rights
of future generations. These ombudmen, he suggested,
would organize referenda against the energy policies of
the fossil-nuclear complex.
These statements characterizing the human species
as planetary pollution, and population growth as destroying the planet, indicate the reason for HansJoachim Schellnhubers great usefulness for the British
oligarchy, his positions at the World Bank, Deutsche
Bank, on international committees, and his imposition
on Chancellor Merkels government and the Vatican by
the British Crown.

Methods of Climate Alarmists

by Benjamin Deniston
Aug. 3, 2015Looking at the activity of
proponents of the man-made climate
change catastrophe narrative, we are left
to ask about their apparent methodology
if the experimental or observational
data does not match the model, why not
just change the data?
This brings to mind the statements of
some of the founding fathers of the manmade climate change catastrophe scare.
Dr. Stephen Schneider, who was one of
the early leading advocates of the need to
stop a supposed man-made global warming catastrophe in the 1980s (after having
warned of an imminent threat of manmade global cooling in the 1970s).
Schneider was the founder and editor of
the journal Climatic Change, author or
co-author of hundreds of papers on climate change, a coordinating lead author
in the IPCC's 2001 Third Assessment
Report, and a consultant to many US
presidential administrations. In a 1989 article in Discover magazine, Schneider
was quoted discussing the method
needed by climate alarmists:

Dr. Schneider had been a participant in a 1975 endangered atmosphere conference organized by Margaret Mead, herself a leading advocate of population
reduction.2 At that conference (which included other
soon-to-be leading climate alarmists, including the man
who later became Obama's science adviser, John Holdren) Mead used her keynote address to express her promotion of this method:
What we need from scientists are estimates,
presented with sufficient conservatism and
plausibility but at the same time as free as possible from internal disagreements that can be
exploited by political interests, that will allow
us to start building a system of artificial but effective warnings, warnings which will parallel
the instincts of animals who flee before the hurricane, pile up a larger store of nuts before a
severe winter, or of caterpillars who respond to
impending climatic changes by growing thicker
coats.
Recognizing this methodology at the roots of the
entire movement claiming we're facing imminent catastrophic effects from mankind's CO2 emissions, puts

ments to historical data records in an interesting perspective.

Case 1 Hockey Stick and Disappearance of

the Medieval Warm Period

Much of the narrative that human CO2 emissions are

taking us to a point of catastrophic climate change has
been supported by claims that recent warming is unprecedented. If indeed the recent warming had no
precedent in recent periods of natural changes, then it
would make sense to look for what new (possibly manmade) influence might be causing this deviation from
prior natural trends (e.g., recent increases in CO2 and
other emissions).
However many records of past climate have consistently shown that there was a time about 1,000 years
ago when temperatures were near current levels, if not
warmer. The existence of this medieval warm period
posed such a challenge to the notion that present warming is unprecedented, that it was disappeared.
Despite being well recognized enough to be in the
IPCC's 1990 First Assessment Report as the leading
schematic diagram of natural climate change over the
past 1,000 years (see Figure 1, Box A), by the release
of the IPCC's 2001 Third Assessment Report the medieval warm period was conveniently gone. The new
presentation of climate change over the past 1,000
years depicted a much flatter and more stable representation of past global temperature, with the only
True Climate Science 47

large deviation being a dramatic increase in

FIGURE 3
temperature during the 20th Century (see
Figure 1, Box B).
This new presentation of past climate became
the go-to illustration to show how unprecedented recent climate change has been proof
that mankind must be the factor responsible for
this otherwise anomalous deviation from the
stable trend of prior centuries.
The only problem with this reassessment of
our understanding of the past is that it is ridiculously untrue.
The statistical methods used to produce the
new presentation of past global temperature
were inherently biased towards producing a flat
trend-line followed by a sharp increase resembling a hockey stick (see Figure 1, Box D). In
fact it was shown that if this statistical method
was applied to a completely random data set it
would produce the same hockey stick effect.
When analyzing the exact same data with
proper methods, the hockey stick character goes
away, the medieval warm period returns, and
the 20th Century is no longer unprecedented
(see Figure 1, Box C).3
The IPCC and other alarmists have rejected
hundreds of accounts of the medieval warm

mate change catastrophe, the adjustments are consistently biased towards supporting their claims. Lets
look at a few examples.
When was the hottest period of the past century?
The answer to that question would depend upon what
region you are talking about, but it would also depend
upon when you asked that question. For example, in
1999 Dr. James Hansen (then head of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, which focuses heavily
on climate change) authored an article on climate
change which utilized a graphic of the official US government assessment of average temperature change in
the United States over the past 120 years.4 By the 1999
figures it was recognized that 1998 was a hot year, but
1921, 1931, 1934, and 1953 were all recorded has hotter
years for the United States, with 1934 being over a half
a degree (Celsius) hotter (Figure 2, Box A).
However, if we examine the records provided by
NOAA and NASA today the assessment of temperatures
in the past have been adjusted to lower values, with 1921,
1931, 1934, and 1953 all becoming cooler than 1998.
Such convenient adjustments are not limited to the
historical records of temperature in the United States.
Professor Ole Humlum has analyzed the many adjustments made by the US governments official records of
global air surface temperature (produced by NOAAs
National Climatic Data Center). Through a series of adjustments between May 2008 and February 2012, the
official historical records of global temperature in the
first half of the 20th Century have been systematically
adjusted cooler, and more recent temperatures systematically adjusted hotter accelerating the claimed measured rate of warming solely by adjusting what instrument records were supposed to have said about the past
in 2008, versus what the same instrument records were
supposed to have said about the past in 2012.
Figure 3A depicts the cumulative adjustments to
the historical global temperatures between 2008 and
2015, and Figure 3B analyzes just two specific months,
January 1915 and January 2000, examining how the
historical values of those two dates changed with each
adjustment made between 2008 and 2012.
Most recently, NOAA has released a new revised
data set of adjusted global temperatures, leading to new
claims of increased warming. Again, this is not showing that the latest data from recent months shows more

In one sense, man-made warming is unarguably
real: it is created not by CO2, but rather by adjusting
the temperature records.
Taken together, these manipulations of past climate
records and the way these manipulations have been
used to scare the public shouldnt be much of a surprise. In the 1970s and 1980s Margaret Mead and Stephen Schneider already told us how the climate alarmists
were going to operate, and these more recent data manipulations are just a few examples of their methods.

Germany: Case Study in

The Failure of Green Energy
by Alicia Cerretani, Benjamin Deniston
Germany's energy policy, especially under the influence of Hans Joachim (John) Schellnhuber, serves as a
warning: green energy is not sustainable for a modern
industrial economy. Germany's nuclear exit with laws
established to fully eliminate nuclear power in Germany by 2022 coupled with its massive expansion of
solar and wind, has been a disaster. Since this policy
has been aggressively implemented for some years, we
can now examine the results.
In 2013 an author for the leftist {Dissent} magazine
provided a breakdown of the realities of wind and solar
power in Germany in 2012:1
In 2012 German wind power advertised an installed electrical generation capacity of nearly 31,000
megawatts, but the average production for the year
was only 17% of that capacity. Solar power fared even
worse: with an advertised capacity of 29,000 megawatts, its average generation for the year was only
11% of capacity.
The expansion of inefficient wind and solar has
been massively subsidized, and the costs of electricity
are so high that people in Germany call their energy bill
their second mortgage. In 2004 residential electricity
was about 23 cents (U.S.) per kilowatt-hour, and by
2015 it was 35 cents (among the highest prices for any
developed nation); electricity prices for companies
have risen 60% over the past five years, driving Germany's critical industrial and manufacturing out of the
nation. A significant portion of this cost increase is directly from a renewable energy surcharge added to
electricity bills to cover the cost of key subsidies to
wind and solar. In 2013 German renewable energy subsidies were around 27 billion US dollars,2 adding seven
cents per kilowatt-hour to electricity bills an added
green energy surcharge which, alone, was nearly 70%

of the average total electricity rate in the United States.

In an added irony, these measures have not done anything to reduce Germany's annual CO2 emissions,
which have remained the same for the past decade.
At the Tenth International Conference on Climate
Change (held in Washington D.C., 2015) an overview
of the failure of Germany's wind and solar power program was presented by Wolfgang Mller (the General
Secretary of the European Institute for Climate and
Energy), providing further details of Germany's failed
energy policy.3

Wind

Between 1994 and 2012, the number of wind turbines in Germany increased from roughly 2,000 to
23,000. Not only do they operate far below capacity,
the output fluctuates wildly. In 2014 Germany's 35,000
megawatts of wind power capacity operates at less than
30% of capacity 90% of the time, and at less than 10%
of capacity 55% of the time (never reaching above
70%).
To illustrate the dramatically varying, and often
minimal, production of power from wind we can examine data from a single month of electricity generation
(August 2014) in Figure 1.

Solar

In 2000 Germany solar power capacity was merely

114 megawatts. In 15 years time driven by their massive subsidy program this was increased over 300fold, to 37,400 megawatts. As with wind, the actual
electricity generation never comes close to this advertised capacity figure, and output varies significantly
reaching over 40% of capacity only 11% of the time,
and remaining below 30% of capacity 60% of the time.
The fluctuation is not merely from the obvious daynight variation, but day to day as well, with power pro3. Tenth International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC), Panel 5:
